Hi, my name is Mike and I have trained in Southern Shaolin Fukien Tiger Crane (my shifu's name for the style) and Ving Tsun. I am a big fan of all forms of martial arts and would love to contribute to this forum. Thanks for the opportunity.

Hi folks. My name is Clint, I'm 30, and I've always been interested in martial arts. Never pulled the trigger on training until a year ago when I took a month of kick boxing. Didn't keep it going though. Then I enrolled my 4 year old son at USSD's Kenpo Karate school in Temecula, CA. Watching his classes just drew me in, and I've been training since September.

I just find it interesting talking to people about martial arts, so here I am.

In addition to being able to help my son train, my goals are to learn, grow, and help others grow. Hopefully we can all do that here!

I did a couple months of toshindo before moving. After talking to a few people I enrolled the kids in ATA along with myself and my GF. Now her son, she and I are 3rd dan. She and I own a school in Maine.

Score one for ironfoot's post above - we all started because of GF's daughter being in an in-school program before the move and of the six that started, three of us are active.
